Often they do go back and forth the whole way, and I don't know until the very end what the last line of the book is going to be. That was true here - the very last line of the book was the last thing that happened.

I don't like things to be static when I'm working.

I remember when I was working on All Alone in the Universe, and Robin Roy was my editor. When I first sent it to her, she said kids this age don't want pictures in their books.

I think we're conditioned by watching movies.

In the bedroom time I have generated thoughts, and then in the studio I take those thoughts and try to shape them into something.

I generally have an idea where I want to go, but I don't know how I'm going to get there.

I'm structured with time.
